Specs
Golden Age tuners are the rebirth of popular early 20th Century tuning machine designs, featuring simple steel plates and open gears. Replacements for the originals have long been sought by collectors and repairmen, to restore older guitars and improve their tuning. They add an authentic look to reproduction guitars.

15:1 gear ratio for improved tuning
Vintage style riveted worm posts
Original-shape matte white or matte black plastic knobs
.234" (5.94mm) string post diameter
Original mounting screw spacing (screws incuded)
1-3/8" (34.93mm) string post spacing
Relic nickel finish

Also available to fit solid pegheads and for 12-string guitar.

Note: Plate-mounted tuners can't work efficiently if the pegholes are improperly aligned. Our Tuner Drill Jig ensures the correct spacing for accurate tuning.

"The Golden Age Restoration tuners are really great. I have just put them onto my 1929 Gibson L-1...I like the fact that someone went to the trouble of making them look right." —John Evans, Brussels Belgium

"Great tuners with the right look and feel! The only thing different about them is that they are better made and more functional." —Richard Barnes, Pomona CA

To be sure these tuners fit your instrument, compare your existing machines and peghole dimensions to our listed specs to help determine the best replacement.

Thank you for the amazingly fast delivery of the Golden Age Restoration tuners I recently ordered. They could not have been easier to install, and fit as if they were made specifically for my Martin 000-15S. They look great, are very precise, and I immediately noticed an improvement in the guitar's volume and tone. An absolutely fantastic product!

Great tuners

I recently completed a rebuild of a small French(?) Parlor guitar ca 1890-1910. I had a spare set of Waverly's but felt this little guitar needed to be understated. I wanted to keep the antique quality of the instrument. I found these Golden Age tuners and they fit the need perfectly. They're accurate, smooth, and solid. I couldn't be more pleased with them.

Thanks Stew-Mac
